Hill Country Flood Victims Need Relief Now! (UPDATED 8/15)
Update
August 15, 2025: The first special session has ended, but Governor Abbott has immediately called a second special session. Continue calling your legislators to keep momentum and pressure high.
The Texas legislature is currently in a special session to pass bills focused on flood relief and other topics. Those affected by the July 4 floods are counting on loans and other measures, and all of Texas needs emergency preparedness improvements. The legislature must prioritize these matters.
Instead, Texas Republicans have been delaying consideration of flood-related bills and focusing on redistricting in an unprecedented attempt at mid-decade gerrymandering to strengthen Republican control of the federal House of Representatives.
Instead of wasting time on partisan gerrymandering, state senators and representatives must focus on flood relief bills, such as ones that provide relief loans for small businesses or improve emergency preparedness and early warning systems.

I’m calling to ask that [REP/SEN NAME] push for immediate consideration of flood relief and preparedness bills. Our state is suffering. Passing flood relief measures must take top priority over any further discussion about Congressional redistricting.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
